Talk:Data mine

From WoWWiki

Words

i did a little search about the word datamine, because i wasn't familiar with it.

i found out that its not actually one word, but two. "Data" + "mine" and it should be used like that.

from wikipedia :

Data mining (DM), also called Knowledge-Discovery in Databases (KDD) or Knowledge-Discovery and Data Mining, is the process of automatically searching large volumes of data for patterns such as association rules. It is a fairly recent topic in computer science but applies many older computational techniques from statistics, information retrieval, machine learning and pattern recognition.

Better to move it, I'd say. You're right :-) --Tinkerer 10:08, 23 November 2006 (EST)

That info is accessible to everyone through that website, and Blizzard apparently allows automated data retrieval, since they're providing XML files. ~ ŋɑϑ 13:18, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
